The team gathered one final time to announce the End of Season awards and to say goodbye to the graduating seniors.

Introducing the 2nd Annual BUWRFC Awards:

Most Valuable Forward: The player in the pack who’s play on the field best exemplifies what we as a team want to aspire to. She works hard, executes her individual skills well and improves the level of play of the team by being on the field. The Most Valuable Forward should be a consistent A side player.

Noel Coleman

Most Valuable Back: The player in the backline who’s play on the field best exemplifies what we as a team want to aspire to. She works hard, executes her individual skills well and improves the level of play of the team by being on the field. The Most Valuable Back should be a consistent A side player.

Dee Nash

Most Improved Forward: The player in the pack who over the course of the year has most improved her game. The Most Improved Forward can be an A or B side player, a rookie or a veteran.

Celeste Hamre

Most Improved Back: The player in the backline who over the course of the year has most improved her game. The Most Improved Back can be an A or B side player, a rookie or a veteran.

Eva Ciccodiola

Rookie of the Year: The player that in their first year playing rugby has made the biggest impact on the team.

Paige Stathopolous

16th Woman: This award goes to the player who’s presence in practice and games helps make the team better as a whole. The 16th Woman does not need to be the best or flashiest player on the field. This award is an opportunity to recognize someone who is truly committed to improving herself and Boston University Women’s Rugby.

Lisa Cardone

The Terrier Award: This award goes to the player who has done the most to advance Boston University Women’s Rugby with her actions off the field. This can be through working as a member of the board, fundraising, volunteering or promoting the team.

Lauren McCormack

The Leadership Award (to be voted on by rookies only): This award is given to the veteran player who has been most helpful and supportive of new players as they learn the game of rugby.

Alex Hubelbank

The Legacy Award (to be voted on by seniors only): This award is given by the seniors to a returning (meaning freshman, sophomore or junior) player who best embodies the qualities that the seniors hope will continue to be a part of Boston University Women’s Rugby after they graduate.

Dee Nash

Bonny Johnson Award: This award is given to the player who, after the namesake, has played four years of rugby consecutively both semesters.
